GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A judge has decided there is enough evidence to try a 37-year-old Nebraska man on charges that he plotted to hire someone to kill his estranged wife.

The York News-Times reports Robert Honken has been bound over for trial on two charges of conspiracy to commit murder in Hamilton County.

The man prosecutors say Honken hired to kill his wife, Derrick Shirley of Bradshaw, is scheduled to be in court for a similar hearing on Tuesday.

Nebraska State Patrol Sergeant Ryan Phinney testified last week about the evidence against both men who were arrested last month.

Phinney says Honken tried to hire an undercover officer to kill his wife. And Shirley told investigators that he had been paid earlier this year to kill Honken’s wife but had backed out.

GALENA, Kan. (AP) — A city attorney in southeast Kansas is resigning after his second drunken driving arrest in two years.

Galena Mayor Dale Oglesby says the resignation of 52-year-old Kevin Cure takes effect Friday. The Joplin Globe reports that Cure was charged Thursday with a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated. Cure didn’t immediately return a phone message that The Associated Press left at his law office.

Police say Cure was arrested Tuesday in the parking lot of a Joplin, Missouri, restaurant. A passenger faces an obstruction charge over accusations that she refused to remain in the car and that she tried to involve herself with the field sobriety tests.

Cure has been Galena’s city attorney since 2004. In March 2014, he was arrested in Joplin on suspicion of driving while intoxicated

FESTUS, Mo. (AP) — Burglary 101: When you break into a store, don’t leave your cellphone behind.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that a suspect is in custody after a break-in at All the Rage Comics & Games, a store in Festus. Owner Jason Hughes arrived Tuesday to find the cash register was gone, along with a laptop and other small items. All told, the store is out about $500.

Police say the thief left behind comics and cards worth thousands. Police also found a cellphone that contained the suspect’s personal information and pictures of him flexing his muscles.

POTOSI, Mo. (AP) — A robbery suspect is hospitalized in critical condition after being shot by the owner of the home.

The Daily Journal newspaper in Park Hills, Missouri reports that the shooting happened Thursday night in rural Washington County. Sheriff’s Capt. Zach Jacobsen says the suspect and the homeowner are acquaintances.

Authorities believe the suspect and another man intended to steal prescription drugs. Jacobsen says the two men threw the homeowner, an older man hooked to an oxygen tank, onto a couch.

There, the homeowner was able to grab a gun and shoot one of the men. Both suspects ran to a car and drove away, before calling 911.

Authorities believe the shooting was self-defense.

The homeowner was also taken to a hospital with shortness of breath, abrasions and bruising.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The domed stadium in St. Louis is getting a new name, now that the Rams are gone.

Since 2002, the financial firm Edward Jones has owned the naming rights. But as of Friday, the Edward Jones Dome is being renamed The Dome at America’s Center.

The NFL in January agreed to allow the Rams to move to Los Angeles. Edward Jones cancelled its naming rights contract a month later. The firm paid more than $32 million over 14 years for the naming rights.

The dome is part of the America’s Center convention center.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The sheriff of mid-Missouri’s Osage County is under investigation in another county, but authorities aren’t yet offering details about the investigation.

Maj. Tom Reddin of the Boone County Sheriff’s Department told KMIZ-TV that Osage County Sheriff Michael Dixon is being investigated for activities in Boone County in early March. Reddin declined further comment.

Dixon is on probation for two years after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge in 2014. The victim was a female officer from Belle, Missouri.

The Missouri Department of Public Safety revoked Dixon’s peace officer license in January 2015, but a Cole County judge reinstated it in October.

Messages seeking comment from Dixon were not returned.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas county elections official used his ties to one of the nation’s leading advocates of voting restrictions to help secure the top job at a government agency entrusted with making voting accessible, and then used the federal position to implement an obstacle to voter registration.

Documents obtained by The Associated Press show Brian Newby told Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach that he could count on Newby months before the county official was hired to head the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

Newby then decided residents of Alabama, Kansas and Georgia could no longer register to vote using a national form without providing proof of U.S. citizenship.

Kobach says he recommended Newby to the commission but didn’t mention job performance issues in his Kansas job.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A bill outlawing powdered alcohol in Missouri has passed the state House.

House members voted 95-56 on Thursday to ban the sale and possession of powdered alcohol, which is marketed as Palcohol. Violations would be considered a misdemeanor offense.

Powdered alcohol can be mixed with water or another liquid to make an alcoholic beverage.

The U.S. Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved Palcohol’s product label in early 2015. But it’s not available on the market yet.

Supporters say the substance can be abused by teenagers and could cause overdoses.

Dozens of other states have banned the substance preemptively.

The Missouri measure drew bipartisan opposition from critics who argued against overregulation and said a ban wouldn’t effectively keep the substance away from teens.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Senate has voted to give the secretary of state the authority to prosecute election crimes.

Senators voted 25-4 Thursday to allow the secretary of state’s office to issue probable cause statements and take cases to court. The office can currently investigate complaints, but any prosecution is left to local officials or the attorney general’s office.

Bill sponsor Will Kraus said local prosecutors would still have the first opportunity to try a case, but those officials often focus more on crimes where someone has suffered direct harm.

Kraus is a candidate for Secretary of State.

Senator Jill Schupp said other departments don’t prosecute crimes, and adding that power to the secretary of state’s office could be expensive.

The bill now goes to the House.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Nearly 100 opponents are rallying at Missouri’s Capitol against a measure to grant religious protections to some businesses that decline to provide goods or services for same-sex weddings.

Members of the Missouri LGBT advocacy group PROMO and others on Thursday delivered petitions against the legislation to GOP House leaders.

The proposal would amend the state Constitution to ban government penalties against businesses that deny on religious grounds services of “expressional or artistic creation” for same-sex couples’ weddings. That could cover bakers or florists.

The measure passed the Senate earlier this month after a failed 37-hour filibuster by Democrats, who argued it would permit discrimination against same-sex couples.

The legislation is up for a House hearing. If it passes the Legislature, it would head to voters for approval.
